Trying to install 2.4 on a new SSD.  I'm getting through the actual installation but when it automatically reboots, it hangs up.  I get the screen with the feather and the progress bar.  The progress bar makes it all the way to the end then.....nothing.  I've tried a few times with the same result.  The last time, I took a shower and shaved while waiting and nothing had changed.  If you hit ANY key (not the "ANY" key), it reboots into nothingness (black screen).  I've d/l'ed it twice.  First time was a torrent and burned it at whatever speed it automatically burns.  The second time was the regular d/l burned at the slowest speed allowed (4x, I think).

Any thoughts?  I'd like to install this on my new SSD although it won't really hurt my feelings to wait a couple weeks and try installing 2.6.

Is this something you've tried?  I would imagine you could do these steps from within the Live CD before you click on the Install Linux Lite icon.

Also do an MD5Sum check on your *.iso file, if you haven't already.

Hi torreydale

I wrote this on TRIM

I now have the weekly cron job, I understand doing it via fstab forces a trim every time you delete

just showing how to look for things when they go wrong on booting up.
live cd should be able to access your non booting install ssd drive. look in /var/log/boot.log like i show below.

Code:

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ cd /var/log harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:/var/log$ ls alternatives.log      dmesg.3.gz      mail.log alternatives.log.1    dmesg.4.gz      mail.warn alternatives.log.2.gz  dpkg.log        messages alternatives.log.3.gz  dpkg.log.1      pm-powersave.log alternatives.log.4.gz  dpkg.log.2.gz    pm-powersave.log.1 alternatives.log.5.gz  dpkg.log.3.gz    pm-powersave.log.2.gz alternatives.log.6.gz  dpkg.log.4.gz    pm-powersave.log.3.gz alternatives.log.7.gz  dpkg.log.5.gz    pm-powersave.log.4.gz alternatives.log.8.gz  dpkg.log.6.gz    samba apt                    dpkg.log.7.gz    speech-dispatcher auth.log              dpkg.log.8.gz    syslog auth.log.1            faillog          syslog.1 auth.log.2.gz          fontconfig.log  syslog.2.gz boot                  fsck            udev boot.log              gpu-manager.log  unattended-upgrades bootstrap.log          hp              upstart ConsoleKit            installer        user.log cups                  kern.log        wicd daemon.log            lastlog          wtmp debug                  lightdm          wtmp.1 dmesg                  llupdates.log    Xorg.0.log dmesg.0                lpr.log          Xorg.0.log.old dmesg.1.gz            mail.err        Xorg.1.log dmesg.2.gz            mail.info        Xorg.1.log.old harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:/var/log$ cat boot.log * Starting Mount filesystems on boot                                          [ OK ] * Stopping Track if upstart is running in a container                        [ OK ] * Starting Signal sysvinit that the rootfs is mounted                        [ OK ] * Starting Clean /tmp directory                                              [ OK ] * Stopping Clean /tmp directory                                              [ OK ] * Stopping Read required files in advance (for other mountpoints)            [ OK ] * Starting Initialize or finalize resolvconf                                  [ OK ] * Starting set console keymap                                                [ OK ] * Starting Signal sysvinit that virtual filesystems are mounted              [ OK ] * Starting Signal sysvinit that virtual filesystems are mounted              [ OK ] * Starting Bridge udev events into upstart                                    [ OK ] * Stopping set console keymap                                                [ OK ] * Starting device node and kernel event manager                              [ OK ] * Starting Signal sysvinit that local filesystems are mounted                [ OK ] * Starting D-Bus system message bus                                          [ OK ] * Starting Signal sysvinit that remote filesystems are mounted                [ OK ] * Starting load modules from /etc/modules                                    [ OK ] * Starting cold plug devices                                                  [ OK ] * Starting log initial device creation                                        [ OK ] * Stopping Mount filesystems on boot                                          [ OK ] * Stopping load modules from /etc/modules                                    [ OK ] * Starting flush early job output to logs                                    [ OK ] * Starting SystemD login management service                                  [ OK ] * Stopping flush early job output to logs                                    [ OK ] * Starting bluetooth daemon                                                  [ OK ] * Starting system logging daemon                                              [ OK ] * Starting mDNS/DNS-SD daemon                                                [ OK ] * Starting Reload cups, upon starting avahi-daemon to make sure remote queues are populated                                                                  [ OK ] * Stopping Reload cups, upon starting avahi-daemon to make sure remote queues are populated                                                                  [ OK ] * Starting Uncomplicated firewall                                            [ OK ] * Starting configure network device security                                  [ OK ] * Starting configure network device                                          [ OK ] * Starting configure network device security                                  [ OK ] * Starting CUPS printing spooler/server                                      [ OK ] * Starting Samba Auto-reload Integration                                      [ OK ] * Starting Mount network filesystems                                          [ OK ] * Starting SMB/CIFS File Server                                              [ OK ] * Starting Failsafe Boot Delay                                                [ OK ] * Starting cups-browsed -

I now have the weekly cron job, I understand doing it via fstab forces a trim every time you delete

When I try that, I get this:

fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl faiiled:  Inappropriate ioctl for device

EDIT:  Tried again and it showed TRIM is enabled.  Thanks.

Got it to install but when I try to install the updates, here's what happens.  They d/l fine but when they're done unpacking, etc, I get an error message that says the updates failed.  When I open a terminal, it shows "linux@linux" instead of my user/computer name.

When I try what rokytnji said, I get things like: "could not create certificate. Openssl output was: unable to load 'random state' ", "error generating key", "unable to locate any package files".  All of the "OK" or "fail" items show "OK".

EDIT:  Tried to d/l updates again and got another error message that says, "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists".

[Monkeyman]

Success!  After a zillion reboots, everything finally worked.  No idea what happened differently but thanks to everyone who helped.  I switched back to the "old" SSD as there's a TON of tweaking I still need to do (adding progs/apps, adjusting the toolbar, updating FF bookmarks/passwords, etc).  I have to work the next 3 days so I'm about out of time.  Looks like a good chore for next week.

Thanks again to all!

Glad it worked...

I had a lot of issues with early SSD's
I moved to Samsung 840/850 Pro's in 2.5" & mSata size in 2014... NO issue's & great performance

Samsung 840

Code:

dave@asus-mini-1:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 1504 MB in  3.00 seconds = 501.18 MB/sec

WD "Black" 2.5" (supposedly the fastest 2.5")

Code:

dave@asus-mini-1:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 334 MB in  3.02 seconds = 110.67 MB/sec
